While they are certainly the stars of the show, your smile is about more than just your teeth. Your mouth has a range of different tissues, salivary ducts, and more, and they all need consistent maintenance through routine biannual checkups. These visits are a vital part of keeping your smile safe, providing a cleaning and an examination every six months to help you avoid common oral health issues like tooth decay and gingivitis. Periodontal disease is one of these issues, and by keeping a cleaner set of gums, you can fight back against bacterial infection.
At Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, we’re here for our patients. We understand that it’s maybe been a while since your last biannual checkup, and that’s alright; we can work with you to improve your gum health. Periodontal disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so make sure that you’re keeping up with your entire smile through cleanings and examinations. And when you want a cleaner set of gums, ask about periodontal maintenance from our team.
